Media & You. A Shropshire-based Graphic Design & Desktop Publishing Service With A Difference

There Is Nothing That Cannot Be Achieved In Words And Pictures

Media & You owner Paul Naylor is commercially-minded and results driven, having held the post of Supplements Editor for the MNA for a decade. His work beyond the daily duties included production of Prosper magazine for The Black Country Chamber of Commerce; Business Matters for the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and Made in the Midlands magazine for the eponymous manufacturing organisation.

"I believe Media & You offers the personal touch that other agencies cannot provide", says Paul. "Collaboration with my media partners provides further enrichment for clients"

"This innovative approach means there is nothing that cannot be achieved in words and pictures, whatever your media requirements. If you are unsure what your business needs to promote itself, contact me to discuss the possibilities. Whatever products or services your business provides, the proper marketing materials help to keep you one step ahead of your competitors."

It's All About Good Communication

Working independently or with one of our experienced media partners, Media and You places the client’s needs first. We believe our approach to getting the desired results is 100 per cent down to communication – both talking and listening.

Get your message out there with an interactive newsletter from Media & You.

As you can see from this newsletter, it is a great way to share your appreciation for those you have worked with - not only in print, but by helping readers reach the businesses direct via, phone, email and website.

Each newsletter created will be supplied as a downloadable PDF, perfect for scrolling on a desktop PC, laptop or tablet. The beauty of this is that each article has a hyperlink to the referenced company’s website or specific video clip, and so on.

Newsletters can be of any pagination, but I recommend not more than 20. Above 20 pages I’d like to think of it more as a magazine. A magazine can be produced in much the same way. If you are interested in a magazine, please contact me to discuss.

The examples seen throughout my newsletter vary in pagination, from two pages (Shrewsbury Optometry), right the way through to 20 (On The Road). I am happy to create any number of pages required, but please remember if you intend to print it as A3 folded to A4, you will need to work in units of four pages. As an example, this newsletter is eight pages and could be printed on both sides of two sheets of A3, folded to form an eight-page publication.

Therefore, try to provide enough editorial copy and pictures to fill four, eight, 12, 16 or 20 pages. For a single sheet of A4, you can create a two page (double-sided) newsletter. Should you only intend to cascade the pages online, any number of pages works.

Either way, all files will be provided to you for print and online. The Marches Care newsletter is three pages and is printed at the care home and stapled for internal distribution. Please get in touch to discuss your project. Discounts are available for long-term repeat contracts.
